In my opinion physical therapy is such a thing that shouldn’t be done online. I can well understand your problem as I am an education consultant and know benefits offered by online education. But some things are best done otherwise not in online education.

PT is a graduate degree. PT is definately not online. It is a three year program that includes diadatic course work (theory and practice), internships (approximately 30 full time weeks working under a PT), and a research project. Do you want a doctor that learned to be a doc online? PT is hands on.
For undergrad, PT require you to take gen physics, gen bio, gen chem, A and P, All with labs. You can not complete labs online. You will also need to take math potentially up to calc, stats, and psy

PTA is a 2 year degree. You may be able to take some gen ed requirements online but you will still need to go to campus to take the PTA classes and to the assigned clinicals. Clinicals are also full time.
